    There's a great YouTube channel called 'The Doctor's garage' where the doc laments JLR for the problems with his Discovery 5. Granted he bought the one with a 2.0 litre engine, but the dealer experience is shocking. Having said that if you bought a 3.0 litre diesel and had an independent...

    Vehicle of choice

    I've got a Mondeo estate, it's a dull as dishwater, but it's got plenty of room and i wouldn't mind a newer one. Had an A4 quattro before, fine, but not enough space - also the four wheel drive makes little odds on mud if you haven't got suitable tyres. I'd be looking at the Volvo XC estates or...

    Are you happy to pay to watch fishing videos?

    I might be inclined to pay a little if one company had a group of anglers i liked, but they're all over the place. You need anglers who can 'tell' a story. Hearn is the best at it, without actually really trying...

    FS Barbel seeker same rod but different?

    One saying SU is red herring. They were all the same, just they started branding them SU. It's an odd behavior that FS have done over the years. I had one of the 11ft models years ago, sold it to a chap in Godalming. Found it wouldn't control small fish that went nuts. Also have two of the...
